Usage

1. Import the package

import "github.com/forewing/csgo-rcon"

2. Create a client with rcon.New(address, password string, timeout time.Duration), assuming your server rcon are hosted at 10.114.51.41:27015, with password password, and you want the connection timeout to be 2 seconds.

c := rcon.New("10.114.51.41:27015", "password", time.Second * 2)

3. Execute commands use *Client.Execute(cmd string). Execute once if no "\n" provided. Return result message and nil on success, empty string and an error on failure.

// Execute a single command
msg, err := c.Execute("bot_add_ct")

// Execute multiple commands at once
// Source engine games treat `;` as command separator
// May not work in other games, test before use
msg, err := c.Execute("game_mode 1; game_type 0; changelevel de_dust2")

4. Note: If cmd includes "\n", it is treated as a script file. Splitted and trimmed into lines. Line starts with "//" will be treated as comment and ignored. When all commands seccess, concatted messages and nil will be returned. Once failed, concatted previous succeeded messages and an error will be returned.

cmd := `game_mode 1
game_type 0
// run_game half_life_3 (ignored)
changelevel de_dust2`

// Execute multiple commands separately
msg, err := c.Execute(cmd)

# then use -m flag to specify the completion file
csgo-rcon -c config.json -i -m cmds.txt
